The area of corporate governance (CG) determines the way in which a corporation is managed and monitored. The purpose of this article is to investigate whether there is a correlation between company performance and CG practices, while the general objective is to set up regression models of the company success measured by Tobin's Q and CG practices measured by Croatian Corporate Governance Index (CCGI ® ). Data used for processing the topic were from secondary sources, mostly books and articles, as well available annual questionnaires of CG codex for the period from 2007 to 2010. Results obtained in this research indicate that CG is an important factor in explaining the business performance of Croatian companies included in the official share index of the Zagreb Stock Exchange (ZSE) CROBEX ® (Croatian equity index).

Abstract-This paper presents results of a large pilot project among Croatian primary and secondary schools focused on digital maturity of schools. It explores relationships between indicators that influence the overall digital maturity level of a school with the main aim to identify the main drivers of digital maturity. It also reveals key steps in the development of the Framework for Digitally Mature Schools in Croatia and the instrument for assessing digital maturity of schools. The instrument evaluation involved 151 primary and secondary schools in Croatia that were assessed against maturity levels. Descriptive statistics is used to identify and explain correlations between 38 indicators of digital maturity of schools. Results obtained from the instrument show that 50 percent of schools in Croatia are in the initial phase of maturity and 43 percent of them are e-enabled which in respect to 5 different maturity levels corresponds to levels 2 and 3 respectively. An on-line system developed for this purpose, besides it features the instrument itself and enables schools to benchmark between themselves, identifies critical indicators for each school that require improvement in order for school to make progress against maturity level.

The main goal of the paper was to explore the attitude of business owners and managers in the small and medium sized companies (SMEs)

Organizations are facing a disrupted environment, which results in a need for managers who can quickly respond to volatile conditions. Such conditions lead to changes in traditional leadership and the construction of new leadership recognized by contemporary literature as digital leadership (DL). The main objective of this research paper is to examine the levels of DL and digital maturity (DM) in small and medium-sized Croatian companies in the context of digital transformation (DT). The research sample included 156 companies, and the results indicated relatively high levels of DL; indeed, nearly four companies achieved the highest level of DM. The results indicated a negative correlation between the level of DL and DM. Gender was shown to have an impact on the level of DL, while it was not indicated that gender has an impact on the level of DM.
